Study Notes
Biology Basics
- The study of living organisms is called biology.
Cell Biology
- The mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Photosynthesis
- Green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll through a process called photosynthesis.
Evolution
- Charles Darwin is the scientist known for formulating the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Genetics
- Genetics focuses on the study of heredity and genetic variation.
- It involves the study of the genetic structure and evolution of populations, which is known as population genetics.
- Genetics also involves the study of the molecular basis of inheritance, including the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and proteins, which is known as molecular genetics.
Microbiology
- Microbiology focuses on the study of microorganisms, but does not include the study of viruses, which is a separate field called virology.
- Microbiology does include the study of parasites and their interaction with their hosts, which is known as parasitology.
Physiology
- Physiology focuses on the study of the functions and mechanisms of living organisms.
- Cellular physiology focuses on the functions and mechanisms of cells, including the regulation of cellular processes such as respiration and metabolism.
- Physiological biochemistry involves the study of the role of biochemical processes in physiological functions, such as the regulation of body fluids and electrolytes.
Biochemistry
- Biochemistry primarily studies the chemical processes that occur within living organisms.
- Bioenergetics in biochemistry focuses on the study of energy production and storage in cells.
Ecology
- Ecology primarily studies the relationships between living organisms and their environment.
